I think it’s pretty safe to say, leave it to the internet and time and eventually all discoveries will be unearthed. There are just too man sets of eyes and the sheer amount of available resources will eventually uncover all discoveries.

So just who is this almost member?

Well surprisingly it’s Kubota Misa! Current Armor Girl and member of Kamen Joshi!

In 2010 while SKE48 was just making their 3rd single release, the NMB auditions were well underway and the group was rounding out to become one of the most dynamic lineups in 48 history.

During one of the of SKE shows, a b-roll video ran with over 100 auditioning members. You can easily recognize many of the eventual members.

Such as…

Lost in that list of Who’s who NMB members, is Girl #80 who bears a striking resemblance to Kubota Misa.

The showed aired 2010.09.11 and lists her as 16.

Kubota Misa’s listed birthday is March 25, 1994 which would have put her at sixteen at the time and her hometown is Kyoto, which would also put her in the Kansai area.

She only speaks for just a second, but if you can believe one of the world’s foremost experts on Kubota Misa, me, I think it’s pretty conclusive.

So I guess it begs the question how close WAS she to being in NMB48?!?!?!

This is a really big challenge for Mai, she’s really out of her element here. Seeing her try to step up to meet the challenge is quite interesting.

140728 SKE48 Ebisho! ep03 – Sports challenge time, followed by Tani Marika and Matsumura Kaori being taken away to Hokkaido and challenged to hitchhike their way back home.

Just like with Ebi Friday Night, SKE really shines in this program. The chemistry between the members and the host, Okubo, is top-notch, and a joy to watch.

140727 AKB48 Nemousu TV Season 16 ep01 – Nemousu returns for a new season with a two-parter where a bunch of AKB members are competing to see who can iron and fold a shirt the best.

This sounds like the most boring thing ever, right? I thought so too but for some reason I was really entertained by it. Maybe it’s because it features a lot of members I haven’t seen on TV in awhile, in a fun competitive environment, but those 45 minutes flew by.

This is the first episode I’ve watched and if the quality remain this high, I’m going to be tuning in every week.

After the opening promotions and talk about the new single, Episode 19 has the three girls going to stunt school. Yamada, Yamaguchi and Shinohara go through training taking falls, jumping off trampolines, and working with wires.

As with most Idol programs it’s pretty fun just to watch them fail miserably and react like goofs. In the end they put all their training together into one cheesy short-film, great for laughs though.
